Get Into Rugby Asia

The Get Into Rugby programme is an integral part of the World Rugby strategy to grow the Game globally in partnership with Its Regional Associations and Unions.

The aim of the programme is to encourage players of all ages to Try, Play and Stay in Rugby. There is major drive by Asia Rugby and our member unions to grow GIR participant numbers exponentially in the key window of opportunity in Asia leading to the Rugby World Cup (RWC) in Japan in 2019 and the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, which will feature Rugby 7s.

In the three Try, Play and Stay stages, there are a series of modules which are designed to take a player with no experience of Rugby progressively, in a safe and progressive environment, from an introductory level to being a player who can enjoy all forms of the Game and its values.
